XXL Presents Haiti Relief Concert With Jim Jones & Juelz Santana

XXL magazine is gearing up for a special one-night-only concert featuring Harlem’s own Jim Jones and Juelz Santana, with special friends, in support of Haiti earthquake relief efforts.

The show will be held on February 9 at the Studio Space in New York City’s Webster Hall in tandem with the release of XXL’s March Issue, which includes stories on Gucci Mane, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Rakim, Styles P, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Plies and Wale.

Ticket prices are $15 pre-sale and day of. Tickets are currently available online or fans can physically purchase them at the Webster Hall box office.

All ticket sales will be donated on behalf of the participating artists to The American Red Cross’s earthquake relief effort in Haiti. —XXL Staff

Red Cross has a GENERAL relief fund. Besides overhead, all this money being sent to them will not all go to Haiti.

There’s other grassroots organizations based in Haiti that the proceeds from this concert can go to. Even better, with this being a hip hop benefit, how about the proceeds go to Yele Haiti? Clef has been on the frontlines for Haitians for MANY years. A story comes out to discredit him & the organization during the worst event in the history of the country? Souns hella suspect to me…

I don’t like Jim Jones, but as a Haitian, I appreciate him stepping up & supporting us in our time of grief.

Something must have been wrong with Yele Haiti’s bookkeeping, and that’s indefensible, even if the money ultimately went to the “right” places. HOWEVER, I am convinced that this nonprofit org won’t commit such an error again. Wyclef Jean’s efforts help Haiti through this horror are Herculean. I’m going to donate some money to Yele Haiti, both to help Haitians and to support Wyclef Jean’s work. I urge you to donate to Yele Haiti, even if you are also donating to other relief organizations.

If you really want to help Black people, don’t throw a benefit concert…..stop promoting the negative stuff.

dr.new castle

they need the help no matter where its coming from,if you hated the type of person i am,and if i was the one feeding you would you not take whats offered

jakes

So you are actually suspect of the Red Cross? Listen here, to even mention the Red Cross in a benefit you need to go through a TON of red tape. Trust that I know. This is to make sure the organization having the event is on the up and up and that you really are raising money for what you say you are in this case Haiti and that they send your contribution to your cause. Don’t hate. Bring your support. Every little bit helps.

Who cares? At least these dudes are trying to do something. All the while muthafuckers type out their hate on here and show obvious jealousy towards Jim Jones and Juelz Santana. That shits really helping out.

you are (almost) all pathetic – like them or not – they donating… not just texting 9099 or yele or whatever. don’t go if you don’t like them but how could you knock them for doing something good? oh, i forgot – it’s the internet – that’s what you’re supposed to do.
